INTRODUCTION
Power distribution systems serving industrial or
commercial facilities represent a variety of costs
to the owner. Obviously, the capital cost of the

equipment is a concern, as is the cost of the energy
which that power system delivers to the loads
which convert electrical energy to a saleable
product or service. There are some less obvious
costs - the cost or reliability, measured in products
or services which cannot be sold because power
is unavailable, or an even more illusive concept,
the cost of quality, which relates to customer
satisfaction. Ultimately, as the designer of the
system struggles with devising a system
arrangement and choosing equipment, he must
face the reality that no matter how clever he is, no
matter how much redundancy he builds into the
system, and no matter how much he pays for
premium quality components, he simply cannot
build a system which will never fail.
This is where system protection, and protective
relays become important. If component failure is
inevitable, then it is necessary to provide a means
of detecting these failures. Better and faster
protection afford a number of desirable attributes,
all of which ultimately result in saving the owner
of the system money through cost avoidance.
When component distress is detected and
corrected earlier, the damage associated with the
failure is minimized, which results in lower repair
costs (or even the ability to repair versus the need
to replace). At the same time, faster and more
sensitive detection of problems means that the
cause of the problem can be corrected while it is
still a minor problem, and before it escalates into
a major catastrophe.
Protection is applied on a component basis.
Relays are associated with each major
component of the power distribution system to
detect various forms of distress associated with
those components. If one of those relays
operates (which means that an output contact
closes because the relay detects a level of
distress in excess of its calibration or setting), it
initiates tripping of circuit breakers or other
protective devices which then isolates the
defective system components. It may be
convenient to think of the circuit breaker as the
muscle that does the work of isolating the
component, while the relay is the brain which

decides that isolation is required.
Because protection is associated with
components, it has become customary to talk
about relays which .protect. the component with
which they are paired. While it is true that faster
and more sensitive protection does reduce the
amount of damage at the point of the actual fault
or distress, and in this sense, relays which detect
and de-energize defective equipment do protect
their associated components, the value of relay
protection on system continuity is even greater.
In the limit, a failed motor may have to be
replaced, but good relaying on the motor will
isolate the motor from the remainder of the power
distribution system, allowing it to continue to
function and permitting the facility to continue
in-service. Ultimately, therefore, it is system
protection and service continuity that are the
justification for good relay protection.

Zones include any circuit breakers associated with protected equipment
Zones of Protection
Other zones could be defined to
comprise buses, generators, motors,
cables, etc. Figure 2 shows one final
requirement about these zones - they
must overlap. Because protection is
applied in association with these defined
zones, it is absolutely essential that every
portion of the system must fall within a
zone in order to assure that there are no
areas which are unprotected. Figure 2

interrupter) which can respond to trip signals from
relays associated with the zone.

be de-energized to correct a problem anywhere in the
zone.
Primary and Backup Zones

One of the most powerful conceptual
tools available to the protection engineer is
the notion of zones" as shown in Figure 1
Rather than thinking of the power
distribution system as unbounded,
successful protection relies on visualizing
the system as a collection of discrete
zones which can be individually protected

using equipment designed to detect the
unique forms of abnormalities
associated with each component.
In spite of the best efforts of system designers and

protection specialists, and despite the fact that relays have
a historical record of being among the most reliability
components of the power system, the unexpected will
happen. This has led to the practice of assuring that failure
of a single relay can never result in loss of protection. This
so-called backup can exist in any of several forms:
Remote Backup - in which the relays of one zone have
the ability to also detect problems in adjacent zones.
BASIC CONCEPTS
Remote backup protection is the most common practice in
both industrial and commercial applications, and usually
involves time delays to assure selectivity.
Local Backup - in which each zone is equipped with a
complete set of redundant relays. Often the relays which
are designated as backup employ different measuring
principles, and in more conservative schemes, may employ
totally different signal sources, and even trip different
breakers using different battery supplies.

Overcurrent is the term employed in the National Electrical

Code to mean short-circuit. On a healthy system, the
flow of current is a function of the magnitude of elecrical
load. A short-circuit is a breakdown in insulation which
results in an abnormal flow of current limited only by the
impedance of the electrical distribution system. The
distress associated with a short-circuit comes about
because of the flash and arcing at the fault point, the
depression in system voltage associated with the fault, and
the thermal stress imposed on the conductors which must
carry fault current. Short-circuits are the focus of greatest
attention in protection of medium and high voltage systems.
The change in state from load current to short-circuit
current occurs rapidly. From fundamental physics, it is
known that the magnitude of current in an inductor cannot
change instantaneously. This conflict can be resolved by
considering the short-circuit current to consist of two
components, a symmetrical ac current having the higher
magnitude of the short-circuit current, and an offsetting dc
transient which has an initial magnitude equal to the initial
value of the ac current and which decays rapidly. The
initial magnitude of the dc transient is directly controlled
by the point on the voltage wave at which the short-circuit
occurs; if the short-circuit occurs at the natural zero crossing
of the driving voltage sinusoid, the transient is maximized
where as it is a minimum if the fault occurs at the crest of
the voltage sinusoid. At any subsequent point in time, the
magnitude of the dc transient is determined by the time
constant of the decay of the dc which is controlled by the
ratio of reactance to resistance in the impedance limiting
the fault. For the protection engineer, the worst case initial
current is that which includes the full dc transient.
The voltage which drives a short-circuit includes sources
such as remote generators with voltage regulators that will
maintain their value regardless of the presence of a shortcircuit
on the system, as well as nearby sources whose
voltage will decay when the short-circuit is present. The
amount of decay is determined by the nature of the source.
Nearby generators and synchronous motors which have
active excitation systems will sustain some voltage, but
since the short-circuit will cause their terminal voltage to
drop, the current they produce will gradually be reduced as
the fault is allowed to persist. At the same time, induction
motors will initially participate as short-circuit current
sources, but their voltages will decay rapidly as the trapped
flux is rapidly drained.

Figure 3 illustrates how the various elements of
asymmetry combine to create the most
realistic case of the decaying symmetrical
ac current combined with the decaying dc
transient. From this figure, it is possible to
describe a generalized short-circuit current
in the following terms:
High initial magnitude dc transient
component of current which decays
fairly rapidly with time.
High initial magnitude symmetrical
ac current which diminishes gradually
with time.
Symmetrical ac current lags driving
voltage by a significant angle,
approaching 90.

TYPES OF DISTRESS
Overload is exactly what the term implies - excessive load
demand reflected back into the power distribution system.
The undesirable aspect of overload is purely thermal (I2t)
heating in conductors and transformers, related thermal
The power distribution system can tolerate open circuits

continuously without harm. Where open circuits are a
concern is on rotating machines - motors and generators where they translate into abnormal rotor heating for which
Abnormal voltage or frequency usually is a consequence
of some form of overall system distress, and while these

these equipments have little tolerance. Hence, open circuit

than a direct result of the failure itself. Undervoltage can
result in overload-like thermal heating, while overvoltage
can shorten insulation life and accelerate insulation failure
(and short-circuits). Abnormal frequency usually is
indicative of an imbalance between load and generation.
DETECTION MODES
Circuit - Current or Impedance
Based on the desire to array protection in logical zones,
the most common mode of protection is one which can not
only detect that an abnormality (such as a short circuit)
exists, but which can also determine its location. The
parameter which most simply locates faults is current short-circuits result in abnormal flow of current, and a relay
system which looks for high current will be able to selectively
detect faults. Current is the parameter which is used in the
vast majority of all protection schemes, and is used almost
exclusively from 35kV down through 120V residential
distribution.
Voltage measurements can be used to detect that

something unusual is happening on the system, but
generally voltage will not give any indication of the location
System - Voltage or Frequency

Closely related to current detection is measurement of
apparent impedance. Apparent impedance is the ratio of
voltage to current measured at a relay location and is a
direct measure of the electrical separation between the relay
location and a point on the system where the voltage is
depressed to zero by a short-circuit. Impedance
measurement is more complicated than current
measurement, and hence its use is reserved for more
critical applications at the higher voltages, typically above
69 kV.
of the problem. Hence, measurement of voltage is usually
reserved for overall system protection functions. Likewise,
frequency is an overall system issue.
PROTECTION CHARACTERISTICS

Time Overcurrent
The principle of time overcurrent protection is that relays
are applied appropriately at the terminals of zones, and
each relay is then given both a current pickup and a time
delay setting. The current pickup establishes the sensitivity
of the relay; a variety of rules dictate what this sensitivity
must be. Some of these rules are mandatory and must be
followed; the National Electrical Code contains a number
of requirements on the current setting of overcurrent relays.
Other rules are embodied in application standards, and
while these are not absolutely mandatory, they do represent
a consensus of the industry from which most engineers
would not want to deviate. Finally, there are several rules
of thumb, or conventional practices which, through
experience, have been recognized as good things to do.
Time overcurrent protection is the predominant form of

protective relaying in medium voltage industrial and
commercial power systems. This form of protection employs
relays with inverse time-current characteristics; that is,
operating time of these relays becomes less as the current
magnitude increases. The basic operating characteristics
trace their heritage to the natural operating characteristics
of the induction disk overcurrent relay, and as a result static
analog and digital relays are designed to emulated this basic
characteristic, but there is also a noble rationale for the
inverse-time relationship. Relays are intended to detect
and initiate tripping of high-magnitude fault currents quickly
enough to avoid thermal damage to conductors, and the
natural heating characteristic is also an inverse-time
relationship.
Traditionally, the characteristics of time overcurrent relays
has been published in the form of graphical curves showing
the dependent variable (operating time) on the vertical axis
and the independent variable (operating current) on the
horizontal axis. It is also a tradition that these curves are
plotted on a special log-log paper. These traditions trace
their origin to the manual practices involved in determining
settings for relays.
There are a number of characteristics in common use,
which are shown in Figure 4. Each of these exists to address
specific application needs. Following is a list of the most
common characteristics together with their usual
applications and also the code number which GE uses to
identify each curve shape:
Inverse medium time (51) - best suited for applications
where the variations in the magnitude of fault current are
related primarily to switching of sources on the system,
such as in paper mill systems with a number of small
hydroelectric generators which are switched on and off
depending on water conditions.
Very inverse medium time (53) - best suited for general
applications where the variations in the magnitude of fault
current are primarily determined by system impedance

and fault location. This relay characteristic is the best
choice for most industrial and commercial applications.
Inverse medium-long time (57) - best suited for
applications as backup ground fault protection on complex
low-resistance grounded medium voltage systems.
Inverse long time (66) - best suited for overload and locked
rotor protection of motors.
Extremely inverse medium time (77) - best suited for
application on utility residential distribution circuits where
selectivity with distribution fuse cutouts and reclosers is a
requirement, and where cold load pickup is a consideration.
Inverse short time (95) - best suited for backup ground
fault protection applications on solidly grounded low voltage
systems where the feeders have instantaneous ground fault
protection.

GE time overcurrent relay models

Figure 5
Selective coordination of time overcurrent relays assumes that
the backup relay will always be slower than the primary relay
The time setting is used to achieve selective backup

protection. How this happens is best illustrated with
characteristic curves as in Figure 5. For a fault on a feeder,
the current magnitude determines the operating time of all
relays. Relays which are closest to the fault have time
settings which result in faster operation than those which
are further away. Therefore, the primary relays which are
closest to the fault want to trip first while the more remote
backup relays wait, but if the primary relays (or their
associated circuit breakers) fail, then the backup relays time
out and trip. The time margin between the settings of these
relays must take into account three factors:
The operating time of the circuit breakers. Modern medium
voltage breakers are rated for 5 cycle interrupting time,and
the time allowance is traditionally 0.1 second.
Overtravel, which is the tendency for a relay to continue
to time after the fault current is interrupted by a downstream
circuit breakers. Overtravel is a natural characteristic of
the inertia of electromechanical induction disk relays, and
while exact values vary widely, the traditional allowance is
0.1 seconds. Most static analog and digital relays are
designed to have no practical overtravel. If the backup relay
has an overtravel tendency, its time delay must be long
enough to account for that overtravel.
Margin to account for imponderables such as the
uncertainties in the magnitude of fault current, inaccuracies
in instrument transformers, manufacturing and calibration
variations in relays, etc. The amount of margin allowed
depends upon how much risk the relay engineer is willing
to assume; typical values range from 0.1 to 0.3 seconds.
The total coordinating time margin is the sum of these
three factors and ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 seconds; a 0.3
second margin is often taken as a reasonable compromise
between the objectives of speed and security.

The chore of determining settings for an array of time
overcurrent relays is time consuming work which entails
making a number of engineering judgments. One must start
closest to the load and work toward the sources in the
system, determining both pickup current and time delays
settings for each relay in succession. It is not unusual to
find that this process results in excessively long relay
operating times for faults near the source, so it is then
necessary to work back through the system making other
judgments and introducing compromises. It has been
correctly said that this task is the most difficult and exacting
work within the province of the relay engineer. The traditional
approach entailed tracing relay performance curves, but
the availability of computer tools eliminate some of this
drudgery. However, even with this automation, one must
still be prepared to focus carefully on the task at hand and
be prepared to deal with exacting details.

Directional relay directionality
Many simple applications can be satisfied by relays which

measure only magnitude (of current) and time duration.
However, to achieve fast, secure, selective operation in
"network" systems which involve parallel paths between
sources and loads, or systems with multiple sources of fault
current, the relays will also be required to determine the
direction of current flow. The basic principle used in
determining directionality is that, in a power system operating
at unity power factor, phase current and phase-to-neutral
voltage are in phase, and that phase current leads the
phase-to-phase voltage between the other two conductors
by 90 Figure 6. Fault current in that conductor lags its
phase-to-neutral voltage by the angle of system impedance, .
Therefore, the phase angle of fault current in Phase A will
always lead the angle of the B-C voltage by an angle which
can never exceed 90. However, if the direction of the current
in Phase A reverses, then its' angle will lag the B-C voltage
by up to 90.
Figure 7 shows a relay characteristic which utilizes this
concept to determine directionality of fault current.
A directional relay on Phase A uses the B-C voltage as its
polarizing reference, and together they establish a
directional phasor which leads the B-C reference voltage
by an angle which is fixed in the design of the relay.
Operation can occur if the current angle falls within 90 of
the angle of the directional phasor.
In most instances, directionality is a function which is added
to other relay characteristics. That is, overcurrent relays
are made directional by incorporating a directionality
function to the design of the relay such that an overcurrent

measurement can only be made if the directionality is
satisfactory.
With induction relays, one induction unit is required for the
overcurrent measurement, while a separate unit is used to
determine the direction of the current. Digital relays are less
complex; the directional function may be a few more lines
of code.
Voltage protection tends to be applied to detect various

forms of overall system distress. The actual detection
functions can be either undervoltage (which operate in
response to an undesirable reduction in voltage) or
overvoltage (which respond to high voltage). One of the
application challenges in working with undervoltage or
overvoltage relays is that normal system voltage encompasses
a range of magnitudes around the nominal rated value.
Furthermore, there are normal system conditions which
produce momentary excursions outside this band of values.
As a result, the relays used to provide this function may be
either instantaneous or time-delayed, and in the case of
time, the delay function may be either inverse time or definite
time.
The use of inverse time delay is probably more of a tradition
traceable to the historical use of the induction disk
technology than it is something which is required by the
application. The one situation where an inverse time delay
is desirable is when a time-delayed undervoltage relay on
a bus must be selective with an inverse time overcurrent
relay on a feeder in response to system faults. Note that
while this application is possible, it is not easy to actually
do.

Figure 9
Basic operation of differential relays
The most complex relays in common application are called

distance relays because they measure the apparent
impedance between the relay and the short-circuit. The
apparent impedance is measured by computing the ratio
between voltage and current at the relay. These relays,
which are almost alway directional, are typically employed
on transmission lines where impedance is both predictable

and constant. In these applications, impedance is directly
proportional to physical distance. In fact, modern digital
distance relays have the ability to actually report this
distance as an aid to locating the point of fault. They are
also commonly used for generator protection, and in special
applications on motors.
Distance relay applications are very different from
overcurrent applications; selectivity is achieved by means
of sensitivity (distance setting) and time delay, but the timing
functions are almost always definite time rather than inverse
time. A more dramatic difference is that distance relay
application technology has its own "language", the R-X
diagram as shown in Figure 8.
The R-X diagram is a set of coordinates of impedance
where the origin is at the relay location and impedances in
the first quadrant are in the designated tripping direction of
the impedance-measuring relays. Impedances in the third
quadrant represent short-circuits in the non-tripping
direction, while second and fourth quadrant impedances
are dynamic characteristics which are beyond the depth of
this text.
Figure 8
Distance relay characteristic
shown on an R-X diagram
Distance
While overcurrent, voltage, distance and directionality are
powerful techniques, all of them involve some compromise
between the objectives of reliability, security, speed,
selectivity and economy. Differential protection is different.
It is profoundly simple, inherently secure, highly reliable,
fast, and reasonably economical. As a result, differential
protection is the most important concept in protection.
The concept is a direct extension of Kirchoff's current law the sum of all currents into a region must be zero. Current
transformers are placed at each electrical terminal of the
protected zone and wired together as indicated in Figure 9.
For external faults, where fault current passes through the
zone, current circulates in the current transformer
secondaries without passing through the relay. If the fault
is internal to the zone, then the currents introduced into the
current transformer secondaries oppose each other and
are forced to flow through the relay.
The basics of a differential application include:
CT at each power connection to the protected zone
All ct's have the same rating
Careful attention to assure proper ct connections
Differential protection is primary protection: it
cannot provide backup protection for remote zones
